Early Life
Born on July 23, 2003, Jewfree Dickinson was a respectful child and he often listened to his teachers, parents, and grown-ups around him. He would always socialize with his friends. However, that changed when he discovered anime at age 12. Ever since then, he stopped socializing and became a loner. He refused to invite friends over to his house, attend school events, etc. At age 15, Jewfree saw how messy the planet Earth was. So he decided to leave Earth for another planet called Planet ZEPETO (now renamed as "JoofWorld"). He was born with natural brown hair, but he wanted to change his look. So he bleached his hair and dyed it pink. Another reason for moving was due to his hatred of 3D real life women. At age 16, Jewfree dropped out of high school during his junior year to fully focus on making music.

2019: Flex Entertainment
Alongside Jewfree starting a new life in Planet ZEPETO, He was becoming interested in music. He was influenced by Playboi Carti, Lil Uzi Vert, Pierre Bourne, Young Thug, Future & David Shawty.

He discovered the label through Tommy Craze's video of the Top 100 Worst Rap Songs of 2018 when Submarine Man and Lil Mosquito Disease appeared a few times on the list. This inspired Jewfree to make music alongside his influences.
